Google Translate Celebrates Its Birthday Downtown Pop-up

April 8, 2016 by Leave a Comment

unnamed.jpgWe’re always excited to see what comes out of the marriage of food and tech, and the latest event may be unexpected but it’s certainly exciting. Next Friday, April 15th, Google Translate will host a 4-night long pop-up restaurant in honor of their 10th birthday, called the Small World Pop-Up. According to their website, “Languages from around the world will be your guide as our guest chefs take you on a journey through the lens of food — our universal language.” Guests will use Google translate to order their food from chefs Gerardo Gonzalez, JJ Johnson, Danny Bowien, and Einat Admony (each chef has a different day, and is partnering with friends from the industry to handle drinks and service).

Unfortunately, reservations for the dinners are already taken, but it’s nice to know that one of the biggest tech giants in the industry is acknowledging what we’ve always known to be true: that #everyonespeaksfood.
